    Is that time I started a “the referee’s a w@nker” chant while playing in a match eligible? :pac:


    How I didn’t get sent off in that game I’ll never know

    Cannot believe that there isn't a single Munster moment on the list?

    The miracle match?
    The 2006 final when the screen in the stadium showed Limerick streets?
    ROG's drop goal after 40 odd phases of play with the clock in red to beat Northampton?
    Paul Warwick beating Australia on his own with a virtuoso performance against his home nation in 2010.

    So many more to choose from that aren't Munster too
    The anthems at the England game in Croke park in 07!
    Being the 1st team to beat England after they won the RWC...

    Will PM with a few but straightaway the leicester PL win in 2016 comes to mind.

    Wouldn't be a massive soccer fan but their story just captured my attention like no other. I honestly don't think I'll ever see a sporting upset like it again in my lifetime, and it has to be the greatest upset ever seen to date. It was just a pure sporting fairytale

    The context sometimes gets lost in the intervening years but it would be like the equivalent of Namibia winning the rugby world cup, Waterford winning a football All Ireland, Mayo a hurling one, an amateur winning a golfing major and so on. It just simply should not come close to happening
